I've looked at other posts for a solution, a lot of them were solved for the user, but it wasn't a solution for me. (Most being for laptops/notebooks).

 

I've already copied the BIOS image onto my USB and everything whilst following the official HP tutorial, but when I press F2 to get into my hardware diagnostic (Latest version), there is no "Firmware Management" option. In other posts, people have fixed it by either updating their hardware diagnostics to the latest version, which I already did. Or by pressing down their power button and holding Windows + B whilst the formatted USB inserted, but it didn't work for me. I only want to change my BIOS version via USB, so changing it with windows is not a solution to my problem.

 

If you're wondering, I want to downgrade my bios version, please don't ask why,

My bios isn't broken or anything, it just won't let me downgrade/upgrade it's version. How do I downgrade it?
